Trump-Iran negotiation

Trump says Iran deal will be 'good' for U.S., berates critics for 'negatively chirping'

By Song Sang-ho

WASHINGTON, June 1 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday peace talks with Iran would result in a "good" deal for the United States, berating critics in both the Democratic and Republican parties for "negatively chirping" about the negotiations.

Trump made the remarks in a social media post as tensions flared anew with the U.S. military conducting what it called self-defense strikes on Iranian radar and command sites for drones over the weekend, and Iran targeting U.S. troops in Kuwait with ballistic missiles.

"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He then criticized those critical of his administration's peace talks with the Islamic Republic.

"But don't the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively 'chirping,' at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever," he said.

"Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end -- It always does!"

Trump has reportedly rejected a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at ending the war with Iran and sent a revised version with tougher conditions back to Tehran.

Last week, the U.S. and Iran were reported to be inching toward an MOU that will extend their ceasefire for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and continue negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
